Mint Chocolate Cookies

Mint chocolate is my downfall. It’s my favorite kind of ice cream, after dinner mint, and dessert. Mint chocolate cupcakes, cakes, brownies, cookies… you name it. I’ll eat it all.

I had high hopes for this cookie, but it just wasn’t for me. I used neon green food coloring, which is why my cookies are a little more yellow than they should be.

I can’t put my finger on it, but there was something missing about these cookies. Not minty enough? Not chocolate-y enough? Who knows.

I’ll have to find another recipe to work with for all of this Halloween candy coming up! Recipe from Crafty Corner.

Day 12: Oreo Pudding Cookies

Day 12 of my 12 days of cookies: Oreo Pudding Cookies. We have reached the end of the list! I figured I’d get my last post up today because the next couple of days are going to be a crazy whirlwind for me. I even prepped all the dough already last night, since I know I won’t have any time to today or tomorrow.

So far, I’ve made seven different types of dough. I’m still pondering if that’s enough. That’s the motherly instinct inside me. Will 20 dozen cookies feed four families? I must seem crazy.. right?!

Christmas is the only holiday of the year that I’ll actually take requests from my DB’s cousins. The rest of the year, they get whatever I end up baking. For Christmas, I’ll give them their plain ol’ chocolate chip cookies and their white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Gosh, I’m so mean…. but I can’t make the same cookies all the time! I can’t post recipes of the same cookie over and over on my blog. I’d win the award for the worst blog ever.

But in all seriousness, I hope you spend the holidays with your loved ones, regardless of what cookie you’re eating. That’s why I’m signing off until after Christmas. I need to soak in my time of being at home with my family!

So, from the bottom of my heart, happy holidays! Thanks for following my 12 days of cookies this year. Be safe, stay warm, and keep your bellies full!

These cookies are from The Girl Who Ate Everything and make about two dozen. The pudding in the mix makes these cookies like every other pudding cookie— they melt in your mouth.

Day 9: Chewy Butterfinger Cookies

Day 9 of my 12 days of cookies: Chewy Butterfinger Cookies.  Butterfingers are a candy that I love to hate. They taste so good, but the aftermath totally sucks. They get stuck into every little crevice inside your mouth. Not only do they get stuck, they’re super glued to your teeth. Dentists love that.

Does baking Butterfingers into a cookie make them any easier to chew? Not really… but they sure make the cookie taste good.

Still have some Halloween candy leftover? Throw them into a cookie. That’ll solve all your problems. Chopping candies into little pieces make them much more manageable to eat.

These cookies are a little flat, but that’s because they’re so chewy. YUM!
